Price is a great kid and respects her counterparts! I am sure she's had outside pressure to play well each year since she has played for her mother. Don't forget, her dad was the boys coach at Cheorkee years before her mother and had successful, competitive teams. Lots of basketball knowledge and training in that house. /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Kelsey is a great young lady- I believe Potts leaving affected her more than the other players. Good luck to her in the future. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Good luck to the Lady Devils- hope the fourh qtr is good to them- go IMAC

You either don't watch much high school basketball or you don't know much about high school basketball... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I hear all the coaches send their stats in to Brian Trent and he tallies and sends them back. Not real sure but that's what I heard. And congratulations on your choice about Price. She and Ryans would be my choice in shutting down each game but then again you couldn't leave Ewing out- she was the sleeper and obviously my next choice since Ryans is a Freshman.... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

I think the Districts at GHS has been great and GHS has been a great host. But why weren't all the Regionals games there??? the TSSAA have a hand in that or was that the AD's. Whoever thought up satellite games didn't think about the D-B dome and the Science Hill arena- somewhat different then GHS where Cocke Co and Cherokee played on Monday.. I bet both teams would have been more comfortable at GHS then where they played. They didn't get the IMAC advantage over the Big 9 like the plan was suppose to be- you know, play the district at GHS to help the IMAC teams over the Big 9 by also hosting the Regionals- if both Cherokee and Cocke Co had won no one would have thought of this scenerio... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

The point of having the conference and the regionals at Greeneville was to help the IMAC teams have an edge over the Big 9... I don't think playing in a dome is like playing at Greeneville do you?and if you do then you haven't shot much basketball in your time... what a time to have a satellite game- I bet Cocke co would have done better playing at Greeneville too. So what's the point in having the conference and regional on a court where the IMAC teams could have an advantage when we all don't get that chance in the first round. That's not complaining that's making a point. Otherwise let's move the conference and regional throughout the IMAC at the schools who can host these tournaments- and not have it at GHS every other year- let's spread the wealth- we are suppose to be here for the kids and help them reach their goals in life. It's not an advantage if the first rounds are not all played at GHS. Yeah the Lady Chiefs played their butts off in spite of the odds. Yeah it's a dream and we do the best we can in a small town that doesn't have all the extra facilities and summer programs that your city provides.You don't have a reason not to go to the state year in and year out. Hope your talent pool stays afloat. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

Seems to me like it would have been hard not to pick Dickson since the East Tn media claimed her as preseason player of the year in the area.. What's with that??? Then any Senior might as well not work their butts off to be the player of the year because it's already picked for them... Was their any talk about any one senior that had a great season??? did any one talk to the other coaches preseason to see if they could give their senior pick and get their name in the hat??? I just wish Dickson would run up and down the court like a DI player does...that would convince me of her abilities- and some of her fans too. I'd like to see high school stay high school and not get caught up in college hoopla with preseason player of the year picks.. will they do that in the spring sports this spring or is it just bball. Come on, let all the players, especially the seniors have a shot at the award, especially since it is more a senior award anyway... /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Seems here lately that Greeneville gets a lot of "no calls" (which is in their favor) early in the fourth qtr. I believe it happened in the Saturday game with West, and the district game vs. Cherokee and it happened again with Tn High Friday night. What's with that???? Fourth qtr is definately in their favor- do the refs just decide to stop calling and watch the game??? It's hard to beat the 8th ranked team in the state on their own home court... would be interesting to see if West gets to play them again... Just a thought- but really, think real hard. I believe Dickson should have been fouled out early in the fourth qtr vs Cherokee, but that was Cherokee, how embarrassing would that have been on their own court....

My hats off to the Lady Chiefs for a great year! Seems that some of you Greeneville fans may not understand our situation... We have a goal of making it to the Region and possibly the second round where you all get talent year in and out and look to host a sub-state... You all need to be thankful of your feeder schools and not take things for granted. The Lady Chiefs played D-B one time and the game at home was cancelled for bad weather - D-B even called to check the weather that day... that never happens... anyway they did not want to make up the game on a Monday before the Science Hill game and Cherokee cannot have home Saturday games - so that could have made a difference in the Regional game actually. Also, TSSAA did not want a 4 game schedule and had satellite games- who wanted to play in a dome anyway- did anyone else play in a true dome??? maybe Science Hill is considered a dome but the depth perception is much better than in the Huss dome. Home court advantage you think for D-B?... Also I heard they put the Lady Chiefs team in an extremely small Boys locker room- they couldn't even circle around for a team prayer- come on D-B you can do better than that... I will say the IMAC does a much better job... Oh well- good luck IMAC teams- West is quick and if you can't be big you better hope your quick. Greeneville better have their p's and q's ready- D-B is big and it will be a good match up. You better slow down Head (a Gate City product) and Devine (should have gone to S. Central) and Osborne is a good freshman post (should have gone to Boone) get my drift??? At least we play home grown girls don't we... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Just a question..have you seen any "true" stats from this year? Check and see what senior leads in stats and give credit where credit belongs... I know their is a senior who deserves recognition as POTY or at least runner-up.. you should be able to figure this one out just by watching games or keeping your ears open.. I'll let you figure this one out on your own.. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

West definately has shown the rest of the IMAC teams how to handle Greeneville but does anyone really think that the Lady Devils can be beat on their home floor? Didn't West have a chance last Saturday but didn't GHS get to the foul line with no problem? Didn't it look like the home team got the home court advantage in the fourth quarter in that game against Cherokee-attacking GHS and not getting any fouls from dribble penetration from outside in? It will be tough for West but the best of luck to them... Galyon's done a great job with his quickness- but remember that this is on GHS court... Oh and what is the Lady Devil's record at home anyway???Just a thought. It will be an interesting game no doubt./popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

Let's hope your crystal ball is not cracked- I like what you say!! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Sorry to disappoint you, but Cherokee won 56-47- three way tie for second with M. East and Cocke co. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

All I know is my high school coach always said "it ain't over till it's over" (Yogi Bera you think?) So I'm with you statman3, anything can happen... we are working with 14 - 17 year old athletes. If they listen to outsiders too much and don't stay focused- anything can happen at anytime... you do dude /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

You think the three tough games maybe helped them prepare for M.West? Are they hungry for a top two spot? /hungry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hungry:" border="0" alt="hungry.gif" />
